Most of them are just out there havin' fun, I've got nothing against it. It looks whack and dope at the same time, sorta like krumping.

Looks difficult... but i dont see why you wouldn't just break normally w/out skates?

Nothing against these guys i cant do what they're doing, but i just dont get it lol.

for me it kinda takes away the aesthetic of breakin (if that makes sense ahaha)

You can't really say that they are 5 times better than bboys chico. There are things that we can't do that they can do and vise versa. Personally I don't really think these should even be compared because of how different the two things are.

As soon as they take those skates off they'll become vulnerable to bboying, and as soon as we put the skates on we become vulnerable to Jam Skating. You get?

When you go and say that these Jam Skaters are better and make more money then bboys, then sure... if that's what jam skating is about, making money whatever. but bboying is about the culture and that fact that it's about the love of the dance, no matter if you make money off of it or not.
what you said, doesn't make me look highly on jam skating. If that's the way you want to portray it, than so be it..

Just for the record... Seattle Supersonics officially sponsor Massive Monkeys as the teams breakers.

Massive Monkees @ just one of the billion games they've done shows for.




I'm just another noob trying to learn the ropes.
I think I'm possibly the slowest learner on all of bboy.org haha.

I went to Sirqix in tampa fl. That shit was ill, and there were jam skaters there, and they got pretty mad respect. Except i would say they were alot better than those guys in the video, and i would say the best ones were also bad ass bboys. One of the guys i dance with came from jam skating, and when he first came into bboy'n he couldn't do shit. The wieght distrubution is hella different, but we do alot of the same things. But that said, BBOYS FOREVER! but dont hate. it's just their gung-fu. Peace from the east. (coast that is)

Oh yeah, it also may look a little gay cause there in a skating rink, instead of a bboy jam.
